Lincoln Goldendoodles

Q. & A. with Jennifer

• Why did you start breeding?

  Breeding Philosophy: Combining Legacy with Necessity Jennifer’s passion for ethical dog breeding grew from a long family legacy, specifically from observing her husband's relatives who breed Golden Retrievers. Our six children enjoyed playing with the puppies and witnessing the incredible miracle of birth, cementing our desire to continue this tradition. However, this dream faced a significant hurdle: Jennifer has considerable allergies to high-shedding dogs. For us, responsible dog ownership meant finding a breed that would allow Jennifer, and the entire family, to fully immerse themselves in the demanding yet rewarding world of puppy rearing without compromising health. We discovered the answer in the Goldendoodle. We fell in love with their famously gentle, intelligent temperament and, crucially, their low-shedding coats—particularly those with a higher Poodle percentage—which ensure compatibility with allergies and allow Jennifer to breathe freely while still cuddling the pups. This journey transformed our goal: we are now dedicated to ethically breeding loving, family-friendly, hypoallergenic Goldendoodles, using our structured, active family life and professional experience to produce dogs with unmatched health, resilience, and stability for other families to cherish.

• What makes your program special?

  Our program’s true distinction lies in the unparalleled focus on temperament and stability. We seek to produce puppies that embody the perfect balance: highly loving and playful companions combined with the intelligence and devotion that results in a profound willingness to obey and please their owners. Jennifer's seven years as a kindergarten teacher provides the structured, patient foundation necessary for early manners training and enrichment. We exposure our breeding stock and puppies to a variety of unexpected sights, sounds, and chaos of six children (and their friends), building proven resilience from day one. This rigorous, hands-on rearing, alongside socialization from our six children, neighbors, and friends, creates dogs that are not just low-shedding and compatible with allergies (a requirement for Jennifer), but are exceptionally stable, biddable, and ready to thrive as cherished, obedient members of their new families. The Rearing Environment: A Country-Style Foundation All of our breeding dogs and puppies live with us, fully integrated into our family life. Our home sits on a beautiful, country-style lot in a residential area, which we utilize as a comprehensive enrichment center for our dogs. This environment is specifically designed to maximize their physical and mental development: Diverse Terrain Exposure: The dogs and puppies have constant access to varied surfaces, including a large lawn, the rich soil of our garden, and the uneven terrain of the small orchard. This early exposure is essential for building confidence, coordination, and physical soundness. Active Family Life: The spacious outdoor area, complete with a dedicated playground and large run spaces, ensures the dogs get rigorous daily exercise. This allows them to run, play, and interact constantly with our six children, neighbors, and friends in a natural, stimulating setting, exceeding typical socialization demands. Sensory Richness: The seasonal changes in the garden and orchard, combined with the sounds and activity of a large family playing outdoors, provide continuous, real-world sensory development, ensuring our dogs are well-adjusted to a dynamic home life. Our commitment to raising dogs within this enriching, country setting is a core pillar of our success in producing resilient and well-balanced Goldendoodle companions.
